National Liberation Movement of Guatemala

The National Liberation Movement (MLN) was a conservative political party in Guatemala which was founded in 1954 by the CIA-backed military strongman Carlos Castillo Armas. The party was the only party allowed to run in the 1954 presidential election, which Castillo won with 99% of the vote. The party was one of the many right-wing parties which held power in the country during the right-wing dictatorships which held power until the end of the Guatemalan Civil War in the 1990s, and it was close to the MANO death squad. It lost representation in politics in 1999, and it dissolved that same year.
